Fundamental to achieving compliance is the timely and accurate exchange of necessary information with our supply chain concerning the products we manufacture on behalf of our customers.
We work closely with our customers and suppliers to reduce the amounts of environmentally relevant substances in the products we design and manufacture. Compliance with such regulations and the provision of all relevant environmental data, including applicable recycling data, related to materials, parts, components, and products is required. Supplier cooperation is crucial, and we require this data to be timely and accurately provided by our Suppliers, as we need to know if and to what extent environmentally relevant substances are present in the materials, parts, components and/or products we are provided. This mandate and the Jabil BaRS Requirements apply to all materials, parts, components, and products supplied for Jabil. Our Suppliers are responsible for compliance with the Jabil BaRS Requirements.
